RESEARCH TRIANGLE, N.C. -- CJ Scarlet, president of Tiger Eye Sensor, Inc.,
has been selected to attend the Women Leaders for the World (WLW)
leadership education program for those working to achieve gender equity
around the world. Scarlet will be lending her perspective as a survivor
of a sexual assault who has turned her experience into a lifelong
mission of prevention and victim advocacy, including developing the
Tiger Eye Security Sensor (TESS), an innovative wearable personal
security device.“Gender equality is arguably the most
important issue we must address. If women around the world had rights
equal to those of men, particularly access to education, we would have
the (wo)manpower and energy to solve the grand challenges the world
faces, like poverty, hunger violence and climate change,” Scarlet said.

“The pursuit of gender equality benefits men as well as women and is actually a positive force economically,” she added.

A
residential course held in Los Altos, California, beginning in May
2015, WLW is a transformational opportunity for participants to learn
how to break through barriers to produce results beyond what was
imagined, identify new opportunities to effect local and worldwide
challenges, and demonstrate innovative ways of implementing new
possibilities.

Scarlet is leading her startup along such a path,
designing a new concept in personal security: a voice-activated wearable
device that activates when the wearer calls out for help, connecting
with a live operator who warns the perpetrator to leave the scene and
summons police to the user’s GPS location. At the same time, TESS
illuminates the area and begins recording events to help identify and
prosecute an assailant through photographic images and audio recordings
which are sent to the cloud.

“In a world where violent crimes
occur every minute of the day, creative solutions like TESS are
desperately needed. The Tiger Eye Security Sensor takes home monitoring
to an entirely new level, giving people a more user-friendly and
practical way to protect themselves,” Scarlet explained.

Before
her involvement with TESS, CJ, a former Marine, ran a child advocacy
center for abused children and served as Director of Victims Issues for
the NC Attorney General’s Office, where she implemented the nation’s
first statewide victim notification system. This program was selected as
a national model by the USDOJ. She holds a master’s degree with an
emphasis on Human Violence and is an expert on crime victim issues and
technology.

Launched in May 2014, Tiger Eye Sensor expects TESS to hit the streets toward the middle of 2015.

About Tiger Eye Sensor, Inc.Tiger
Eye Sensor, Inc., is the leader in the hands-free wearable personal
security device market. Its innovative Tiger Eye Security Sensor (TESS)
is designed to stop and prevent assaults and attacks, save lives, and
provide actionable evidence for law enforcement use. Much like a
portable home security system, TESS works with security monitoring
providers in real-time while also acting as a deterrent to assaults by
verbally warning off the assailant, illuminating the area, and capturing
photographic and audio evidence to identify and prosecute the
perpetrator. TESS utilizes cutting-edge technology in its hands-free
design, weighing less than 11 grams and taking up just one inch square
of space, all with a full-day battery charge, making it one of the most
sophisticated devices ever to enter the burgeoning personal security
marketplace. Tiger Eye is a majority women-owned, service disabled
veteran-owned business committed to developing products like TESS in an
effort to make people safer, more secure, and more empowered. For more
